In the first couple exhibition games we were actually better on defense than we were in practice and they carried it into the first few games. I was worried about Missouri’s quickness, they have a bunch of combo guards that can get in the paint. We did a really good job, the coaches and the players buying in of getting off and protecting, not letting guys in the paint. They got so frustrated, we would have three guys there and they would still get in between us, and we would get a tip or a steal or something. All of the daily habits, and the guys bought in and had some pride.”Up Next•K-State will play for the CBE Hall of Fame Classic Championship for the second time on Tuesday night, as the Wildcats will play No. 9/8 North Carolina (4-1) at 9 p.m. CT on ESPN2.
